Trust But Verify!!
This is my warning to all the women in the world who are dating losers. Ask yourself a question: How would you feel if your daughter was dating this man? I'm there now! December 26th 2013 I married my husband and became a step-mother to his beautiful daughter. I have never had any children with my husband but my step-daughter is the center of my world. All I can think about is how I can protect her and teach her everything she needs to know. She doesn't like me sometimes because I'm much stricter on her then her father is. I am the enemy right now but I am okay with that. The day is coming when she will understand me.

Open confessions of me
Open confessions of me. Today I’ve had a lot of time to do some thinking and a lot of major self reflection. I have truly come a very long way from where I was even last year this time. The year before that was even worse. A lot of people know me as being silly or some consider mean but nobody really knows the depths of me, the hate I used to have. I felt so trapped inside of myself I was stressed out I was very depressed to the point where I just had to have a drink wine, vodka, tequila, anything to numb and drown out what was going on around me, what I was dealing with the things I would think about. I had a lot of issues with self-confidence the way I dressed the things I ate the things I didn’t eat. I got to the point where I daily just thought of harming myself possibly committing suicide then everything can just go away I wouldn’t have to feel it I wouldn’t have to drink every night.

Covid-19: I'm a nurse, and I don't have the answers
We've been doing this pandemic thing for over a year now. I'm a nurse. I'm a nurse who worked in a local hot spot when the outbreak started. I was in the thick of the danger. It was a time when you could taste the fear hanging in the air. The PPE shortages were real. The unknown was real.

Is being introvert bad ??
For as long as I could remember, now I've always found comfort in my time alone. In fact this is where I want to spend more of my time, Actually it's a place where I feel like I come alive . Unfortunately if you were to look up the word introvert, you would see a definition of a shy reticent person. To be honest I don't think this is a very accurate description of what a introvert is...

1:20
1:20 My phones ringing, butterflies filled my stomach, I have been waiting for this call. “Hello?” I whispered “hello beautiful, meet me at Tides, 6 oclock.” He whispers back in his raspy voice. Thats all I wanted to hear, a time and place. Im getting a tingling feeling through my entire body a throbbing sensation planning out scenarios of this soon to be encounter. Hes so mysterious and intriguing, I cant help but wonder what hes thinking. This has me thinking what will i wear? I dont have time to get my hair done, my nails are horrible! I sit and take a deep breath, what i am is more than enough. I sink a little deeper into my chair and stare at the clock, its slowly ticking away.

How to Pull Over a Police Officer
Parents are supposed to be embarrassing sometimes, I know, especially when we are teenagers. But when your children feel they need to wear a paper bag over their heads in public so as not to be recognized with said parent, I think things might have gone a little too far.

Pop, Lock, & Drop It!
"Toot that thang up mommy make it roll..." 2007. In the middle of the dance floor. Instructed by Huey himself and clad in my cutest pair of plaid shorts. Very "in" for the era, I might add. I was popping and locking. Showing everyone what my momma gave me.

Dressed to Impress
It was the summer of Abercrombie and Fitch, ironic trucker hats, over-sized sunglasses, and Paris Hilton...and I was about to start my Freshman year of high school. I had begged and pleaded with my parents all summer to let me attend public school- promising to attend youth group meetings every Sunday, in exchange for a chance to never have to wear a uniform or follow a frumpy dress code ever again. Not to mention, my two best friends, Zoë and Olivia, were in public school and I desperately wanted to be in the same school as them.

Freeing the fish was a selfish act
To misquote "Ol' Blue Eyes" aka the late Frank Sinatra in the eponymous "My Way", regrets, I've had a ton. When I saw those two beautiful, stippled fish in the bucket at Uncle Laurie and Auntie Shirley's house, my heart went out to them.
